Royal Caribbean cruise passenger banned for life following dangerous swimsuit photo shoot: ‘Absolute idiot’


A picture may be worth a thousand words, but posing in such a precarious position surely isn’t worth a thousand Instagram likes.

A Royal Caribbeancruise shippassenger has been slammed as an “absolute idiot” for recently climbing over a balcony railing to take a swimsuit selfie high above the ocean. A spokesperson for the cruise line has since confirmed that the passenger was later kicked off the ship when it eventually docked in Jamaica for the reckless stunt, and has been banned from sailing with Royal Caribbean for life.

Peter Blosic, who snapped the photo, was recently traveling through the Caribbean on the Allure of the Seas when he spotted the unnamed woman in a blue bathing suit, after she had apparently climbed over a balcony railing on the starboard (right) side of the ocean liner. According to Blosic, the daredevil ventured out on the massive ship’s narrow perch to take photos of herself,The Sunreports.

“What an absolute IDIOT. You cannot fall off of a ship unless you are acting like a moron!” he exclaimed.

Blosic said he immediately contacted guest services, and that ship officials soon tracked down the woman. Later, the selfie-snapper was booted off the ship when it docked in Falmouth, Jamaica, Blosic claimed.
